Had revision rhinoplasty 2 years ago, w/rib cartilage to form a defined tip. Excellent results; however, the nostrils look bad due to soft triangle areas having excess skin or cartilage. Can this be resected to round it out? I dislike how they angle downard toward the columella. The tissue to resect in the left soft triangle feels like cartilage from my tip, and right side may be skin or cartilage. ALSO, can kenalog or 5FU create a supratip break? (If I tape it, I get a supratip break for a day)
2 year after revision lots of swelling to supratip area persists and fluctuating, will this ever improve? My surgeon is willing to give me a final third operation to fix this and also to the inverted V to one side by using septal cartilage. How can reducing the swelling be done through surgery? Is it wise to try again? They are against steroid injections. Any help and advice appreciated, thank you
Hi! I am about eight months post-op. Around the six month mark, I noticed a bump around my supratip area. I thought it might be scar tissue, but my surgeon told me its not swelling or scar tissue. He told me that my nose was very crooked before surgery, so that cartilage shifted back, and that I should massage it. We also injected some steroid. Now, about two months later, its much worse. Is this truly cartilage? Do I need revision? My surgeon said its noticeable to the average person.
I had a rhinoplasty 6 months ago (deviated septum, dorsal hump, big droopy tip). Looked great straight after, but 2 months post op a supratip bump appeared. Since then everything has gone progressively worse. Got a microdose of cortisone at 4 months post op but did not help. The bump is rock hard and very protruding, there is an indented area above it (visble from sides) and the bridge is uneven. What could be wrong and how can it be fixed? Surgeon wants to do a revision at 9 months post op.
I had revision rhinoplasty six months back. My nostrils are looking asymmetric and also the alar cartilage placed appears to be raised. I am not sure whether this is swelling or scar formation? Does it improve over time or do I need a correction?
Its been 1.5 years since my septic-rhinoplasty and Ive been waiting for a while now for my top swelling to go down. I understand I have thick skin and it will take a while for my tip to go down especially but it the supra tip is making my tip look big while my bridge is low so it looks weird. But I dont know if this is a c complication or just swelling. I think its swelling or scar tissue because when I press down its pretty squishy still. Its worse when I smile and the tip drops.
I had rhinoplasty over 7 months ago. I got kenalog shot tu supratip 7 weeks ago and develop radix irregularities and left side deformity. Is this high lateral cartilage collapse and roof deformity? I have 4 dents on radix from rasping. If so, how I can fix it? I mean what needs to be done during a revision?
Im one year post op and my nose still appears swollen at the top but I cant help but think this is my final result. 10 days post op I had this beautiful nose that I couldnt be happier with !! So what happened?? Male Age : 46 60 190 lbs Thick skin
